So it’s possible that, while Johnson has taken no visits, he could be engaging in private tryouts.
It’s possible, but it’s not happening.  Per a league source, Johnson will not be engaging in private tryouts for anyone.  The thinking is that he has generated six years of game film, and he’s a proven commodity.  Either a team wants him, or a team doesn’t.  There’s no need for Johnson to go run and cut and jump and do whatever a team may want to see him do before offering him a contract.
In fact, there’s a chance Johnson will sign a new contract without even taking a visit.  He can, in theory, be interviewed by phone, without the team having to report it.  Plus, after six years in the league, plenty of guys know him, either from playing with him or coaching him.  It’s possible he’ll be signed without any direct communication with him.

      Our cap is going to be tight next year. Corbs and Horn’s contract are coming due, plus do we let DJ walk? Vet edges are pretty pricey…

      If it were possible to offload that salary, do not blink just do it.  That guy might be placed on suicide watch when he is cut and no one from the NFL calls.

      Feeling Undeniably Optimistic

      By Captroop · Posted

      The fact that we have posters unironically talking about the playoff tells you all you need to know about the mood of this place under Andy's stewardship. And I don't disagree. The NFC South is definitely up for grabs. There are teams in this division that I worry about getting a head of steam, or they'll run away with it before we find our stride. But it seems like most are happy to stumble as soon as they look like they're about to build momentum (Carolina included). The truth is, I don't even really care about the playoffs this year. My expectations were so low for this season that I can't even pretend to be disappointed if we missed them. The important thing is, I woke up this morning, and I can't wait for Sunday. I'm excited to watch the Panthers play. I'm excited to root for our guys. I'm proud to rock my Panthers kit at the bar. I cheer - loudly even though I'm the only Panthers fan at the bar - when they do something right. I pound the table when the team makes a mistake or the other team scores. I'm not just shrugging my shoulders, rolling my eyes, chuckling ruefully, or not even noticing because I'm looking at my phone. I woke up this morning and I realized I care. That's the first time I've felt that way in over a season, maybe more. And I bet I'm not alone. That alone is reason for us to feel optimistic.
